Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Desire to Transport Trump and Musk on One-Way Trip to Space
After spending decades observing chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an expert on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her passing, the famous primatologist disclosed her unique solution for dealing with specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar traits: sending them on a one-way journey into outer space.
Posthumous Film Unveils Candid Thoughts
This remarkable insight into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix production "Final Words", which was recorded in March and preserved private until after her recently announced demise at the age of 91.
"I've encountered people I'm not fond of, and I would like to put them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the celestial body he's certain he'll locate," remarked Goodall during her discussion with her interlocutor.
Named Figures Identified
When questioned whether Elon Musk, known for his disputed actions and connections, would be part of this group, Goodall responded affirmatively.
"Yes, definitely. He'd be the host. Envision who I'd put on that spacecraft. Together with Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she announced.
"Additionally I would add Vladimir Putin among them, and I would include China's President Xi. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his far-right government. Place them all on that spacecraft and send them off."
Past Observations
This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about the former president especially.
In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he showed "comparable kind of behavior as a male chimpanzee exhibits when vying for dominance with another. They're upright, they strut, they present themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they truly are in order to daunt their competitors."
Dominance Patterns
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall elaborated on her analysis of leadership types.
"We see, interestingly, two kinds of alpha. The first achieves dominance all by aggression, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't remain very long. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will just confront a higher ranking one if his companion, often his brother, is with him. And research shows, they remain significantly longer," she detailed.
Social Interactions
The renowned scientist also analyzed the "politicization" of actions, and what her comprehensive research had taught her about combative conduct exhibited by people and apes when encountering something they viewed as hostile, even if no danger actually existed.
"Primates encounter an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they grow all excited, and the hair stands out, and they stretch and contact each other, and they've got these faces of rage and terror, and it transmits, and the rest adopt that emotion that this one male has had, and they all become hostile," she explained.
"It spreads rapidly," she continued. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it sweeps through them. Each member wishes to get involved and grow hostile. They're protecting their domain or competing for supremacy."
Similar Human Behavior
When inquired if she believed the same behaviors applied to humans, Goodall responded: "Perhaps, in certain situations. But I truly believe that the bulk of humanity are ethical."
"My biggest hope is educating future generations of compassionate citizens, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. These are difficult times."
Historical Comparison
Goodall, originally from London five years before the beginning of the the global conflict, compared the fight against the challenges of current political landscape to England opposing German forces, and the "determined resistance" exhibited by Winston Churchill.
"However, this isn't to say you avoid having times of despair, but subsequently you recover and declare, 'OK, I refuse to allow their success'," she commented.
"It resembles the Prime Minister during the conflict, his renowned address, we will oppose them at the coastlines, we'll fight them along the roads and urban areas, then he turned aside to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them at the ends of damaged containers since that's everything we actually possess'."
Closing Thoughts
In her final address, Goodall offered words of encouragement for those resisting political oppression and the climate emergency.
"In current times, when the world is challenging, there continues to be hope. Maintain optimism. When faith diminishes, you turn into unresponsive and do nothing," she advised.
"Whenever you want to protect what is still beautiful across the globe – if you want to protect our world for coming generations, your grandchildren, later generations – then consider the choices you take daily. As, multiplied a million, multiple occasions, even small actions will create significant transformation."
